Fedora 20 requires a password to shutdown. This is something new,
I've used Redhat and/or Fedora Linux for a long time and never had
this requirement. I am the sole user of this computer and see it as
an annoyance, more so when rebooting than for shutting down at night.

How do I fix this?

Bob

Create this:
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/00-no-reboot-password.rules # or similar name

/* Allow shutdown when others are logged in  */
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
     if (action.id ==
"org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions" ||
         action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions")
{
         return polkit.Result.YES;
     }
});

I could try that [I'm afraid line-wrap may have caused problems] but why would I have to add anything to a system that I think ought to "just work?"

This has not been a problem in the past and I see no one else complaining ... I ran F-20 in F-19 under VMWare without seeing this?
